Wear your own designs: Prints inspired by your favourite animal.

Please feel free to give me your feedback on it in comments below, so I can improve my lessons and make them more interesting and informative for you.

Thank you!

About the class

Wouldn't it be cool to wear a t-shirt with your own design or even see your friend wearing it? In this class you will design a simple print with a motif of your favourite animal. The result of the class will be a vector file prepared for personalised printing on your t-shirt, bag, pillow cover (or anything else you can imagine). I'll guide you through the whole process from the initial sketches to the final "ready to print" piece and will give a little overview about printing techniques you could use.

Class project

Welcome to the class project!
